Sinossi

In "Michael O'Halloran," Gene Stratton-Porter ventures into the realm of early 20th-century American literature, crafting a touching narrative that intertwines themes of childhood innocence, the bond between humans and nature, and the redemptive power of love. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Hoosier landscape, the novel features the adventures of a young boy, Michael, as he encounters both the joys and tribulations of life in a rapidly changing society. Stratton-Porter's characteristic pastoral style is complemented by her keen observations of the natural world, creating a vivid setting that emphasizes the serenity and challenges faced by her characters. Gene Stratton-Porter, a prominent author and naturalist, was deeply influenced by her upbringing in rural Indiana, which instilled in her a profound appreciation for nature and humanity. Her works often reflect her commitment to environmentalism and social advocacy, particularly for women and the underprivileged. This background and her unwavering passion for storytelling paved the way for "Michael O'Halloran," where she masterfully explores the complexities of human relationships and the impact of nature on personal growth. Readers seeking an engaging and uplifting tale will find "Michael O'Halloran" a compelling exploration of life's beauty and challenges. Whether you are drawn to themes of resilience or the nostalgic portrayal of childhood, this novel promises to resonate profoundly, inviting you to reflect on the enduring connections that shape our lives.

    Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
    Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
    "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
    "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
    In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
    He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
    "Yes, Pop?" 
    His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
    "But didn't you want me—" 
    "I changed my mind."
